Comment:

 This bug still exists in trunk.

 The problem is [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/formatting.php#L1582 this line] in
 `sanitize_title_with_dashes()`:

 {{{
 $title = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $title); // kill entities
 }}}

 A bit further down, we'll see:


 {{{
 // Convert nbsp, ndash and mdash to hyphens
 $title = str_replace( array( '%c2%a0', '%e2%80%93', '%e2%80%94' ), '-',
 $title );
 }}}

 This should be extended to replace the characters mentioned here.
